"Why did you drag me out here," I asked, folding my arms across my chest.
"I think I have a way where we can solve both of our problems," he began. "I'm proposing that you be my future bride, and in exchange, I will help fund your research department and your parent's shop however I can."
"Okay, but why me? I mean, you have a horde of women pursuing you. Why not just date one of them?" I asked
"Because they actually want to marry me. You are…decent enough to get the job done," he said with a snide smile on his face.
"We are going to have to work on your complementing skills, I see," I muttered.
"Look, are you in or not?" Grey demanded.
I sighed. There wasn't much of a downside to taking the deal. If anything went wrong, I could always pull out of it, right?
I nodded, "I'm in."

Fake Bride for the Last Bachelor

It had been a few days since I returned from Italy. A few days after, Celine told me that Grey was obviously in love with me. But what did that mean for us? He hadn't told me anything on the trip either. The wedding was only a few weeks away, and Grey showed no signs of calling it off.


Of course, I told this entire conversation to Sharon when I returned. We were walking to set up chairs next to the giant billboard in the middle of campus. By the end of the day, each department would announce who had passed final exams. Everyone wanted a front row seat, and a good crowd was already sitting around.


Although when I told her, she gave me the exact look Celine had, like I was the dumb one.


"Marceline, I've been telling you this for weeks now," Sharon insisted.


"But he's never said anything!" I countered.
